储备银行在今天（06/12/2014）列举了妨碍经济发展的几个危害因素，但国家党政府对此束手无策。
作为新西兰中央银行的储备银行，在今天早晨列举了妨碍经济发展的几个主要危害因素：乳制品价格下降、原木出口锐减、移民来势凶猛以及房屋价格暴涨等等。央行行长同时指出，我们的汇率目前已经达到了不可持续的程度。
而今天官方贴现率上扬到3.25%，则意味着银行贷款利率相继上调到9%。
工党财政发言人David Parker 指出，这些综合因素将会进一步加重生活开支的压力。过去的一年有46%的人工资没有上涨（尽管通货膨胀在继续上扬），普通百姓深知生活压力越来越大。
国家党经济发展的工具箱是空的。
与此相对，工党面对经济发展的不利因素有一系列的应对举措。
利率不断上扬是因为奥克兰地区的房价已经飙升到了不可控的状态。
面对房价不可控的状态，工党将采取一系列的举措，包括：遏制投机经济、引入资本利得税、新建100,000套廉价入门房以及禁止外国投机商来购买我们的民宅。
工党在森林伐木行业也将引入经济升级机制，将原木出口从简单的数量转换成具备更高附加值及创造更多就业机会的质的变化。
在工党政府领导下，将引入全民共有的国民储蓄计划（Kiwi Saver），意味着将更多通货膨胀的压力转化成更多的储蓄机制。
而低利率将释缓高汇率的压力，创造更多的高薪工作机会。
面对这些危害经济发展的因素，工党有一系列的举措。我们将和产业部门密切合作、扩大投资力度、支持技术革新、创造更多高收入的工作。

Government has no solutions to tackle risks to economy
The National Government has no solutions to tackle the serious risks to the economy identified by the Reserve Bank today, Labour’s Finance spokesperson David Parker says.
“Reserve Bank Governor Graeme Wheeler this morning highlighted falling dairy prices, declining log exports, strong immigration and high house price inflation as factors threatening the economic recovery. The Governor also noted that the exchange rate was at an unsustainable level.
“The quarter-point rise in the Official Cash Rate to 3.25 per cent means mortgage interest rates are well on their way towards 9 per cent.
“These pressures will add to the increasing cost of living. Kiwis know times are tough when 46 per cent of working New Zealanders have had no increase in their wage rate in the past year.
“National’s tool box is empty.
“Conversely, Labour has ideas to curb all these risks.
“Interest rates are going up because house prices are out of control in Auckland.
“Labour will take the pressure off house prices by clamping down on speculators, taxing capital gains, building 100,000 affordable homes and banning foreign buyers from purchasing houses.
“Our economic upgrade in the forestry sector will transform log exports from volume to value and create sustainable jobs in the process.
“Under Labour’s universal KiwiSaver there will be more savings and less inflation. Lower interest rates will take the pressure off the exchange rate which will mean more well-paying jobs.
“Labour has the answers that are needed. We will work with industry, boost investment and support innovation to create better jobs and higher wages,” David Parker says.
